Policymakers are coming up with new laws and regulations to address digital threats to democracy. But how do they define the democratic values they are trying to protect? For this week's @techpolicypress podcast I talk to @kreissdaniel and @KateDommett:

.@kreissdaniel, @KateDommett and @BridgetOBarrett recently published a paper in the journal Policy & Internet that considers how ideas about democracy are reflected in tech policy documents in the UK and the US: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.10…
@kreissdaniel @KateDommett @BridgetOBarrett We discussed why policy making is out of step with growing evidence "that political conflicts between social groups, right-wing extremism, and anti-democratic actions increasingly taken by elites and parties are at the root of growing democratic crises.”

@kreissdaniel @KateDommett @BridgetOBarrett But tech firms aren't off the hook- they must recognize their role in this context and take much more aggressive action to get out in front of the threats that emerge, particularly to free and fair elections and other efforts to hold them to account: techpolicy.press/the-sunday-sho…
